[Captivate Android Development] VQ30DE:
After almost a week I can say battery app is significantly worse on this than Continuum 2.3 which I was running before. Maybe related to the display, or something with the new kernel? I'm down to 52% after 15 hours with minimal use, and 64% of that is display. I have display brightness all the way down, wifi set to "never when plugged in", auto-sync off, 3G/Edge always off, and I flashed the ROM with a full battery.

EDIT: one difference is I applied the Clockwork recommended tweaks this time around. Did not have them enabled when I was using 2.3. I wouldn't think they would negatively effect battery life, but who knows.
[Captivate Android Development] sharksman:
I dunno man, my battery life is the best save for the short time I had with a self modified version of Cezar's Ying. There's a little bit of leak with wifi but it's but it's bearable. Maybe you have a bad flash?
[Captivate Android Development] kimchi0400:
Still trying to remove, I have no idea why though but I can't manage to get a proper working framework-res.apk with the edited strings.xml file into my rom.

Halp? :3
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Funny situation with the battery.

OK, I've seen many complains about the battery here.

Now, pay attention to this.

I flashed my ROM and had 65% left after flashing.

Next, I flashed speedmod's bigmem kernel.

What do you think my battery level was after flashing??

4%!

I rebooted my phone.

Now I had 14%!

The ROM does not eat battery, is the Android system which cant make sense of the battery readings (maybe samsung's bad framework).

Sorry guys, best choice, flash to stock, calibrate the battery and then flash my ROM. I dont know if it will help but at least is a step forward in the troubleshooting.

Take a look here for more info
[Captivate Android Development] enaybee:
This rom is by far the best I have used. Battery life seems to be better than others but I dont really expect it to last more than 12 to 15 hours anyway as I am a heavy user. Included app selection, kernel, modem all very good. Best of all freaking GPS getting a lock in under 10 secs (first time for me on a custom rom). Theme is simple and good even though there is a diconnected experiencewith green tint vs blue tint here and but no major deal. I dont hve lagfix enabled as this rom is already fast enough and lag free.

All in all excellent job dev on putting this together. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Even if I didn't touch the jogs, apktool screwed the pngs. Will try to fix that in my next release.
[Captivate Android Development] bigbooty:
I have no problems with battery life on this rom. I routinely get 4 hours of screen time with an hour or so of calls, half hour of gps and still have 20% left at night. Using Sucker Punch Voodoo #6 and JPG modem.
[Captivate Android Development] jgaviota:
I know it is a difficult topic, but I wanted to share my experience and I hope it helps.

I flashed v3, and had great battery life. Updated to v3.1 and had still great battery life. After flashing to v3.1.1 the battery drain has been very big. It is not a problem because I can charge at the office and at home. I've always been on JK4

One thing that causes TONS of battery drain and it is not mentioned on the link you posted is Android's 50% bug. On cell stand by in battery use it shows big time without signal. The way to fix this is to put your phone in airplane mode for a min. I have this automatically throughout the day to help me. (I suspect that for this to occur you have to loose your signal, and be on a flaky carrier or something like that)

Anyway I believe your rom is GREAT and I really enjoy using it.

Thanks for your great work!

I like the theme but is there a way to get the dark google search widget back that you used in version 2.3?
[Captivate Android Development] jjtitus098:
I guess only the Unthemed version is UOT compatible? I would like to have your theme but with numbers on the battery, same style battery. How should I go about doing this?
[Captivate Android Development] TigerEnigma:
Cezar...this is phenomenal work, very clean, excellent theme work. Only issue I have had (not really an issue) is the power control widget is stark white, cannot see the icons on it...may be an issue on my end, I'll fix mine, but thought I would throw it out there.

I cannot say enough great things about this Rom...thank you!:D
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Using stock files for now. It works for me. If users report otherwise, i will modify and tweak
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Themed is UOT compatible as well. I wrote it in the OP
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Will include it.
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Yes, i just noticed that, will fix it tomorrow.
[Captivate Android Development] jjtitus098:
I used the themed framework and the kitchen gave me SHFT error. How do I get it to work?
[Captivate Android Development] malicenfz:
Loving this ROM so far. I might just keep it until Gingerbread is out of the oven for the Captivate
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
That is weird. I assumed that if it works to be decompiled and recompiled with apk manager it will work on UOT as well... well, ill have to take a look at it tomorrow. Is 1:30 am here. Going to sleep :)

OK np! Thanks for all your hard work. This new version is top notch work.

Blacked out notification bar for themed version (I saw someone else request this as well)

Great ROM cezar, Continuum is the only ROM I flash :)
[Captivate Android Development] dude_uuk:
Hi Cezar, what are your recommended tweaks? Please share...Thanks again...
[Captivate Android Development] bluerap04:
By "recommended tweaks" he means boot to recovery, select "Speedmod Tweaks", select "Tweaks" and select each tweak that has "(rec)" by them. Boot to system.

I'm telling you this from memory so it may appear slightly different.
[Captivate Android Development] Pierce533:
Cezar, this is an outstanding ROM! The themed version is near perfect. If I could make a request it is that you use the same battery meter from 2.3 in the themed version. It would look much better than the stock meter.

I don't think I will flash another ROM again... don't hold me to that, though! :D

I have donated a small token of thanks to you. Have a drink on me!
[Captivate Android Development] staplebox:
Love it. Great ROM, thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] liqn7:
Does this ROM have the new auto focus while taking pictures with the power button held down?

Thanks again Cezar :)
[Captivate Android Development] Swishaa:
Is my power control widget supposed to be white?
[Captivate Android Development] 1tontomato:
I pretty sure on the speed mod kernel all the battery tweaks are enabled by default if you try to enable them your actually turning them off. You might want to double check your settings.

[Captivate Android Development] elfie:
Is there a way to make the sound button on rotary lock screen switch between normal and vibration mode rather than silent.
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
Pretty sure u can set the vibration on your phone to "only when on silent" or something to that effect, making your question moot.
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
Tried that before but it still goes to silent mode rather than vibrate.

Sent from my Muscles using my Brain Cells
[Captivate Android Development] elfie:
I realized that in android lock, it switches between normal and vibration. Moving to that till it can be fixed.

P.S. I really like the rotary lock, but the functionality wins here :(
[Captivate Android Development] MaxRabbit:
I use Tasker, personally.

Cezar, why do many apps that mention money show everything in euros? Like Ebay, my USAA account, etc.? Is this a setting somewhere in the rom? I should be seeing USDollars.
[Captivate Android Development] grkmaster:
I have tried every modem last night and today to see what sticks and what not. I already know JVE just stinks for me. I tried JPG after all the great things i heard but WCDMA850 wasnt enabled and even after i forced it nothing(left it on automatic and my battery was dieing rapidly. I changed that after to JL2 and man it was great seeing it hit 850 wcdma but my battery after like 4 hours with minimum use was in the 50's. Decided to just go back to JK4, which gives me not so great battery life but better than the others.

You might be right that something in 3.1.1 has to be draining cause I used to get decent batttery life before this rom. I would love to change roms cause of it but the fact that this rom is so smooth overal, i dont want to deal with other ones just yet

I wou
[Captivate Android Development] artvandalay22222:
I'm thinking of flashing this rom. Im on an old version of continuum. I was just wondering how everyone likes the modem that comes with this rom ? Have you tried others? Which one do you recommend and why?
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
Yep, it works fine on the Android Unlock. It's just for the Rotary that ot doesn't work.

Port over the Sense lock cezar! Even if there is no option for silent/vibration that's fine with me. Lol.

Swype problem.

Cezar, there's seems so be a small problem with swype.

Somehow, it does not work anymore. It just won't swype. :(

"Your trial period has ended" That's the popup that i got.

Any ideas on how to remove the app? Gonna try installing the latest official beta instead.

Thanks!

EDIT: Found it.

[Captivate Android Development] sharksman:
Ok for the couple of people still having problems with the battery . I have made an experiment.,i let the phone completely die then I took the battery out and to our lab and asked the technician to see just how much juice was in it and he told me it was between 80 to 90 % dry. Sure enough when I plugged the battery into a coworker's phone it showed 14% when on mine it still insisted on shutting down. Just because your phone says its dead, it doesn't mean it is. That calibration before flashing could help.
[Captivate Android Development] grkmaster:
So just leave it on 850 only then and then flash JPG? Ill try that and see how it goes
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
no.... flash jl2 then go in and see what frequency its on... if it on 850 just hit and hold the power button and choose recovery. If its on 1900.... cup your hand around the phone to force it into 850.... then go into recovery....
[Captivate Android Development] grkmaster:
Well it was on 850 but i alsojust chose 850 only to make sure so i rebooted into recovery and then instaled JPG and checked again and it goes to 1900.. and 850wcdma is the only one selected in band selection.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
I don't think you'll have the option to just choose 850........ I would just leave it in automatic.... can you hold your hand around the phone and see if it goes into 850.... it should change once you get it down below -105db
[Captivate Android Development] jgaviota:
An app called setting profiles, it's like tasker, but there is a free version.
[Captivate Android Development] grkmaster:
under RSCP anything below 105 should change to it? W/o holding it its at -77... nothing i do will change it to 850.. odd how some people have luck getting to 850
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Boy you are right next to a tower.... anyways..... yea.... you just cup your hands around the bottom of the phone blocking the signal.... once you see it get around -105 or -107 you should see it change to 850mhz...

2 things will happen..... either it will change to 850 or it will drop H and go to G 1900 if neither happens.... your not getting the signal low enough.

BTW where are you located?
[Captivate Android Development] grkmaster:
Thanks.. Im in Queens, NY.. and being that low means im close to a tower? Actually when a 3g tower was degraded and i lost service att did tell me that theres a tower within 3 miles. But yeah, my speeds always vary and time to time i see it jump to 3 bars for a while then back to 4. go figure
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
The way the signal works is in reverse.... -110 is about the worst.....thats when you lose your bars.... -110 to -105 is 1 bar... -104 to -99 is 2 bars.... -98 to -90 is 3 bars and -89 and lower is 4 bars.... I'm 2 miles bird flight to the tower and indoors I get -85 in 1900 and -76 in 850mhz....

Your speeds will always vary since it is radio frequencies and many people access the same tower.
[Captivate Android Development] grkmaster:
I can barely get it to stay at 105 -- i once got it to 109 for a like 2-3 seconds but nothing happened. At work I have worse reception, think I should try it there? or it wouldn't make a difference if i cant do it now
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
I would reflash it the way I told you..... then you can test it at work. Keep it on automatic and flash like I mentioned earlier. If you get it to work... it will be worth it for you I'm willing to bet.
[Captivate Android Development] grkmaster:
Im hoping so.. I will try again. I just pretty much enabled all GSM and only 850 wcdma to see what would happen... as i thought, only Edge lol

Wierd thing is after i told you that i forced 850 and went to kpg.. i went back to JK4 and put it on Automatic as 850 was on and reinstalled JPG and 850 was actually selected but still kept getting 1900 trying to follow your info
[Captivate Android Development] thehyecircus:
Search is down on XDA, so I'm going to ask it here instead - Swype expired, how do I get it back short of reflashing the ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
I will release an update.
[Captivate Android Development] zerkai:
You could try clearing data for Swype.
[Captivate Android Development] bobgodd:
happened to me as well. quite annoying actually and i almost flashed a different rom but i found this post.

hopefully they can get this worked out because this was an otherwise fantastic flash for me.

Flash it from CWM silly
[Captivate Android Development] lehoi79:
Cezar,

Do you recommend uninstalling the current swype first through Titanium Backup or can we just install on top of the current one?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Yes I did do that... lol... i didn't think we'd have to to... haha.... well I guess thats the magic way.
[Captivate Android Development] bluerap04:
Flashing that zip file deletes the current swype, no need to do it manually.

Only if you mentioned JPD from the get go! lol .. But im glad actually that im back on this ROM knowing everything works the way I want it now
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Yea it was the order i ended up using but thought it was going to JL2 first that took care of it because I couldn't get JPD working either until I went to JL2 first.

Anyways good enough and glad its working... hopefully it works for others...

Really? Oh well, I guess I won't try it anymore.

Thanks, Cezar. First I'm going to try a full calibration procedure without reflashing. I'm going to delete /data/system/batterystats.bin unless you advise against that.

If this doesn't work, I'll flash back to stock and reflash as you recommend.

Also, according to this site, charging with USB rather than outlet power can increase standby time: http://hemorrdroids.net/battery-calibration/

[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Well, the thing is that I already broke Swype's copyright policy by sharing the beta version in the ROM. As the app now expired and they added a new licensing mechanism, I will not include it anymore in my ROM. I may, however, include the original Captivate one, however, to do that, I should give up on Samsung apps and I dont really want to (build.prop needs to be changed and for Samsung apps to work, build.prop needs to say GT-I9000 but the version of swype with voice input wants SAMSUNG-SGH-I897)

I never used the voice input on Swype, you can use it on gingerbread KB and Samsung KB.
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Will include it in next version
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
I have a problem now, the first time I flashed Continuum was like a week ago. So now I decided to do flash again, but this time, I did a Master Clear from Odin. So after doing that, I flashed Continuum and did the Restore process from TiBu. The problem is, when I try to select reboot on the Power menu, it doesn't turn off. Sometimes it stuck on the Homescreen or just a black screen. Any explanation why?
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Have no idea. Try to flash it again... Did you install any theme/mod or anything that could change sys apps or framework?
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
Nope, I only restore apps and flashed different modem and kernel. That's it. Hmm.

[Captivate Android Development] MaxRabbit:
I love this ROM and it's speed, but I was always a big complainer of battery life. However, it's not the speedmod kernel after all - it's the modem. I flashed the JPG modem and now I'm still having 50% battery life after 15 hours of on time, and a couple hours of screen on usage.

This thread is a huge help.

Flashing JPG on Continuum is sometimes not easy. This might help you out.
